I came into this only having read [b:Snow Crash|830|Snow Crash|Neal Stephenson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1477624625s/830.jpg|493634] by Neal previously, and a long time ago at that. He has a digressive style of providing oodles of backstory in a convoluted way only to arrive, a few pages later, at the actual point. I think I loved this in the beginning of the book, when we are meeting characters and want to get to know them; it felt like a real understanding of the characters and a unique and fun way of showing who they were and why they do what they do. However, especially at the end it started to bog down the pacing. At a point in a thriller I think I want to just move along and reach a conclusion, but we still get exposition late in the game and it becomes overwhelming. This is despite having so much backstory, the characters still end up following the plot lines in a slightly contrived way, and it isn't clear to me at least why certain pairings or actions are taken except to ensure that everyone is where they needs to be for the book to conclude. That said, the central sequences were brilliant and I enjoyed it mostly because of them. The twists there were great. I wish they had extended through to the end.
All of Stephenson's fiction has thrilling moments (and as his novels tend to be big, those moments can go on for many, many pages), but this is the first of his books that is nothing but a thriller, one that will sit comfortably on shelves weighed down by, say, the complete works of Robert Ludlum. "Like Stephenson's most critically acclaimed novel, Cryptonomicon, Reamde combines meticulous observation of the stranger socioeconomic effects wrought by technology with rousing fusillades of adventure." Sci-fi geeks flock to the master's wildly complex novels -- but his latest, "Reamde," is maddeningly conventional "Stephenson’s control of these multifarious plotlines is remarkable, as is his evocation of settings as disparate as a 21st-century boomtown in southern China, a remote island in the Philippines, a survivalist compound in Idaho and Wal-Mart." REAMDE, Stephenson's latest novel [...] is a book that represents a new kind of equilibrium in Stephenson's literary canon: a book that is simultaneously as baroque as System of the World and as cleanly and crisply finished as Anathem. It is, in other words, a triumph, all 980 pages of it Pertenece a las seriesDodge (1) PremiosDistincionesListas de sobresalientes
Un libro imprescindible no sólo apto para los amantes de la ciencia ficción. Neal Stephenson regresa con REAMDE, su novela más intensa hasta la fecha, al estilo carcacterístico que ya demostró en su mítico 'Criptonomicón'. REAMDE es un «tecnothriller» repleto de acción en el que el lector se verá atrapado en un nuevo escenario: el macabro y distópico mundo de los juegos de gurra online. «El Homero de la mitología freak.» San Diego Union-Tribune «La rareza del genio.» New York Post «La imaginación de Neal Stephenson no tiene límites.» Salon.com «Una leyenda de culto.» Popular Mechanics No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
